Detroit Lions Breakdown

Episode #101: The Flowers have arrived

Listen Later


Free agency started with a bang on Monday as the Lions were one of the busiest teams in football. Bob Quinn added a lot of faces he is acquainted with and a couple that were a little more unexpected. Erik and Joe delve into it all in this episode.

  • The Lions send T.J. Lang off into the sunset, in the process saving over $8 million in salary cap space
  • Lang has some nice things to say about the team, and it seems that he is thinking about retirement
  • Nevin Lawson was also released by the team
  • Trevor Bates was released
  • The big move… Lions sign DL Trey Flowers to a 5-year $90 million deal, and the defensive line has had a complete overhaul over the last season
  • WR Danny Amendola receives $4.5 million to become a Lion
  • CB Justin Coleman inks a 4-year deal
  • TE Jesse James signs a 4-year deal
  • OL Oday Aboushi receives a 1-year deal
  • Zach Zenner is back in the fold for a little over $1 million
  • How much Salary Cap does the team have left
  • What else does the team need, and how much of each position
  • What free agents could still fit the Lions?
  • How were the Lions draft plans impacted by their free agency moves?
  • Scooping up Flowers might not rule out picking an EDGE at No. 8
  • The mail also includes a lot of draft questions
  • Thanks for the great reviews: Box Sunday, Todd Pruitt, Morgan Cannon
